PGModeler (http://www.pgmodeler.com.br) is a nice tool to design your (PostgreSQL) database. It supports import from and export to a databases. Ubuntu 15.10 comes with a quite recent version but e.g. Debian does not provide it in the repository. In this post I explain howto build the application on Linux (tested on Debian 8) from source.

In the next part of the series, the protection of webservers is explained. In this example I use Apache HTTPd webserver. Similar configurations are also available for e.g. nginx. There are various reasons for protecting the webserver itself (webapplications installed will be described in on of the next posts). Attackers are e.g. scanning the server for vulnariblties or try to attack the server using invalid input.
